ISSSTE Exceeds 2025 Goals with Record Surgeries and Consultations

Mexico's ISSSTE exceeded its 2025 targets, performing over 308,000 surgeries and 24.2 million consultations by extending work hours and improving infrastructure.


The Institute for Social Security and Social Services for State Workers (ISSSTE) closed 2025 exceeding its institutional goals, performing 308,579 surgeries and 24 million 291 thousand consultations. These figures confirm a sustained trend of expanding clinical coverage. A key operational element was the voluntary extension of work shifts from six to eight hours, a measure applied in 2025 that increased the time available for consultations and surgeries while improving the working conditions of healthcare staff in the short and long term. This operational adjustment strengthened the Institute's capacity to respond to greater demand without compromising the stability of its medical staff. The sustained increase in surgeries and consultations translated into shorter waiting times, one of the central objectives of the institutional strategy focused on the Dignified Treatment of beneficiaries. The ISSSTE anticipates that, even with current installed capacity, there is room to continue growing, particularly with the progressive expansion of infrastructure and the strengthening of care models.
